Immediately top with combined sprinkle mix. Tap lightly to remove excess. Chill candy until set, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Once set, remove ears from wax paper. Place face down on cake board. Using reserved candy (reheat if necessary), pipe strip of candy on backside of ear. Position lollipop stick in melted candy, leaving about 3 in. of stick at bottom of ear for cake insertion. Chill until set, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2
Prepare and bake cake. Prepare cake batter according to recipe instructions. Divide equally into five pans and one bowl. Using Christmas Red icing color, tint batter in bowl light pink.

Using toothpicks, marbleize pink batter evenly into all pans. Bake and cool.



Step 3
Stack cake. Level cooled cakes to top of pans. Set aside.

Prepare raspberry buttercream icing following recipe instructions.

Prepare decorating bag with tip 2A and ready-to-use decorator icing. Place one cake layer on cake board or plate. Pipe dam around edge of cake. Fill with raspberry buttercream icing. Position second cake layer on top. Repeat for all layers.

Using spatula, ice cake smooth with creamy white icing.

Step 4
Decorate cake. Using Christmas Red icing color, tint ¼ cup icing dark red, 1/4 cup icing medium red and 1/4 cup icing light red. Using Black icing color, tint 1/8 cup icing black.

Prepare two decorating bags with tip 3. Fill separately with light red and black icing. Using light red icing, pipe small “X” on front side of cake for mouth. Using black icing, pipe eyes and eye lashes. Reserve remaining light red icing for later step.

Insert ears into top of cake.
